GoLite Xanadu 4 Shelter 4-Person 4-Season

great 3 1/2 season tent

This is in my opinion a great 3 1/2 season tent. It is very light weight and roomy and has a decent vestibue. My issue with this tent is that it has mesh doors and windows with no nylon zippered closures.I had to return it do to the fact that if it's used during a snowy time that snow will get blown in thru the mesh. The tent's vestibue is designed to prohibit this, however I have used many tents in the winter here in Alaska and I always have snow blown in under the vestibue and up against the tent. I was looking for a light weight 3 or 4 person tent that was a trus 4 season tent. I exchanged this for a North Face V-25 3 person tent and I'm very pleased with it. For the record Backcountry was very helpful getting me the exchange that I wanted and didn't even charge me for shipping on my exchange. I will definately do business with them again.
